What kind of berry bush is this?

Hey all - I just found this growing next to my box hedges and am wondering what kind of berry bush/tree it is. It has small dark purple almost black berries with a bunch of seeds in them. Sweet smelling. Leaves are same color green as the stems. Not glossy or thorny and both the leaves and stems feel alittle fuzzy. I'm in Fresno Ca and not sure what kind would grow here.

It's very difficult to guess what the plant might be. It would help a lot if you could post some pictures of it. Clear close-ups of the leaves, stems, flowers, and fruit will help other members provide an accurate identification of the plant for you.
